For the Filling:
In a medium pan, heat olive oil on low. Add onions, garlic and saute until soft, about 2-3 minutes. Add green chiles, beans, water, bullion, and cumin. Mix well and cover. Simmer on low 15 minutes. Remove cover, add chicken and cook an additional 5 minutes, or until it thickens and liquid boils down. Set aside.

Green Chile Enchilada Sauce:
In a large nonstick pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and starts to turn translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add flour and stir well. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth. Whisk until the sauce becomes smooth. Cook over medium heat until the sauce boils and thickens, about 4-5 minutes. Add green chiles, jalepeños, and salt to tatse. Cook another minute then remove from the heat. Stir in the sour cream.

Spread about 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13" baking dish. Fill each tortilla with 1/3 cup of the chicken/white bean filling. Roll the tortillas and place seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Continue filling remainder of the tortillas.

Pour the enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Top with cheese. Cover with aluminum and bake 20-30 minutes, until the enchiladas are hot and the cheese is melted. Remove from oven and top with fresh cilantro or scallions.

Thanks for all your great recipes! You have beautiful photographs throughout the site that look so appetizing! I just rejoined WW this week and am excited to have a place to come & find great healthy family meals. :-)

Wow! These look amazing. But as I read the recipe, I was surprised you used flour tortillas to make enchiladas. Enchiladas are made with corn tortillas. These are really Chicken and White Bean Burritos. Either way, they look great! ~Susan

These were AWESOME!! They were a little time consuming, but totally worth it. My boyfriend and my roommate's boyfriend were both extremely impressed. Me telling them they were WW compliant was just icing on the cake!!!

I made this for dinner the other night and they were GREAT! I worried about the heat from so many canned green chiles and jalapenos. We love spicy food but I really considered cutting these ingredients in half. So glad I didn't! They were not too hot at all.

I just made these tonight and they were soooo good!!! I'm definitely more into anything with green chile than my fiance so I knew I'd love these, but my fiance loved them too so A+++ ;) He took a second helping that I wish I could've taken, but I'm keeping to the points lol :)

These were delicious! I ate 2 for a VERY filling 8 point dinner :)I made both the chicken mixture and enchilada sauce ahead of time and refrigerated them, then assembled and cooked the enchiladas later. Worked out perfectly. Will definitely make these again and again, cannot believe how creamy and delicious they were for only 4 points each!

I made these last night and just like everyone else said, they're delicious! I too used jarred chopped jalapenos and guesstimated 1 teaspoon-ish as 1 jalapeno. I like a little spice so I added half a teaspoon more. I had them for lunch today as well, and I must say I think they're even better leftover! Oh, and the hubbs loves them too, so this is definitely a staple from now on.

made them tonight, I didn't read the reviews prior to making and drained the beans but I just turned it down once the water was absorbed. Very tasty. I use corn tortillas and omitted the jalapenos. quick meal, I cooked the chx in the crock pot during the day and did the filling and sauce at the same time. great website btw.

These are outstanding. I've made them several times and am making them for dinner guests again tonight. My hubby loved them. They taste like they should be wayyy more than 4 points! :)I've made so many great things from your website--and can't wait to make more!-Kristen

Gina - I made these for a dinner party last night and everyone LOVED them! Even if the are 6 points for one, they are so filling you really don't need more than one. They did take a little more time than I thought, but I think when I make them again it will go much faster.

I forwarded this recipe to my mom. She's always saying she doesn't know what to make. She made these last week for the family and they were delicious!! My girlfriend called and asked for the recipe. Thanks again!!

My husband and I loved these. This is the 4th recipe I have made of yours(everyone of them perfectly delicious so far)My 16 yr old niece helped make them and I think u have a new fan. She is gonna make them for her parents! Thanks again and again and again!

Oh Gina - you absolutely rock! I made these for dinner last night and they were unbelieveable. I only had one can of green chilies so I used most in the sauce and a little in the filling. Delicious & filling and I love that the points are so low for something this great. Thank you so much.

We are snowed in due to the 2011 blizzard and decided today would be a good one to try this meal! I thought the "hotness" was perfect and I was very satisfied with one. My family of 6 loved it including my very picky 9 year old! Thanks for making cooking healthy fun!

I happened upon your site, looking for a good recipe for a zucchini soup,and your site is the best, my family has enjoyed everything so far!! I can not believe that you work all day and have time for this. Amazing! When are you going to make your own cookbook? I would buy it! Thank you.YUMMY! Thank you!

Thank you! I know, I can't believe it either! The cookbook? When I have more time I guess! I'm hoping a publisher approaches me, bit if that doesn't happen, I'll just have to do the research on how to go about it.

Gina, I found your site a couple of months ago. I've been on a diet for nine months now and have lost 40lbs(YES!)but I was so sick of eating the same old thing week after week. If I saw one more grilled chicken breast coming my way I was ready to put my eye out with a carrot stick (organic, of course). I make 2-3 of your recipes a week now and they are so great! Made this one last night. To Die For Yummy! Thank you so very much. Lynn

This is a fabulous recipe! My husband had seconds then claimed the leftovers were his for lunch the next day. This was the first time I've tried one of your recipes, and I'm very impressed. The only thing I left out was the jalepenos as we are not fond of these. Still terrific, and as my husband said "tasty!". I look forward to trying other dishes that make staying on program delicious and easy - and healthy. I feel like I'm not on a diet of any kind, and inspired to cook again. Thanks!

Made this wonderful recipe tonight after a friend posted the link on facebook! I didnt feel like waiting to cook the chicken so I just bought a 12oz can of white chicken breast and shredded the chunks with a fork. Worked great!

I have been on Weight Watchers for a few years now, and I always find recipes that tell me to use the La Tortilla Factory tortillas. Short of ordering them online, I have not been able to find them in stores near me. So I was wondering if you knew what the Points Plus value of this meal is without the tortillas...And then I can just add the points of my higher point tortillas to whatever value you tell me. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Love your recipes! I make several of them weekly! :)

YUMMM! These were so good and filling! Definitely a regular to repeat. It's hard to get my husband to feel full but these did it. The filling/topping was delicious! I couldv'e eaten it with chips or by itself, haha

Hi Gina,I made these tonight for dinner but I made five tortilla's not eight...it was too late by the time I realized i was wrong. The torilla's I used were two points + each. How would this effect points per tortilla?Kristin

Very excited to try this. I prepped the filling and sauce yesterday. Will put together the enchiladas and throw them in the oven tonight. What I tasted yesterday was delicious. The sauce was just the right mixture of spicy and sweet!

I have been doing ww for a couple of weeks now, when a friend pointed me in your direction. I am SO glad she did!! I have made a couple of recipes so far and love them, my hubby is a HUGE fan of enchiladas, so happy to see you have a few to try :) Can't wait to give this one a shot

Amazing!!! Loved these and I am fighting with hubby for the leftover one! Please publish a cookbook, you are the best!! We also had skinny taco dip and a salad! Thanks to you I should be skinny in no time!

These were delicious!! My husband (who I struggle to get to eat healthy food with me) absolutely loved them. Had them last night for dinner, late night snack and in his lunch box today. I had to substitute corn tortillas as there wasn't any low carb tortillas in our commissary. I've tried many of your recipes and love them ALL. This is our favorite so far :).

I made these for dinner tonight and OMG they are amazing!!! We're mild folks here, so I used only 1/2 of the chiles required (and just for the filling) but it tasted great! Next time, I'll try a bit more spice (it's a process! haha) I had the extra allowance to splurge for a serving of 1.5, and it was soooo worth it! One would definitely be filing enough though. My husband cannot stop talking about these and is bringing 2 to work. He said it's the best thing I've EVER made. You can't even get this tasty of a dish in most restaurants!

I just finished my first enchalida and I have to say.. as a Mexican food enthusiastist, these were wonderful. Never had the feeling they were low in fat or calories. Just good flavor. I will be making theses over and over again.

Gina! I have been FB posting away with all the recipes I have been trying from your website! I made these last night and threw all of the ingredients for the filling into the crockpot with the chicken instead of cooking it separately. It worked great and was delicious! Thanks again. I get excited each night for a new recipe.

Has anyone either made the sauce or the filling (or both!) in advance and frozen? Before I do it, I want to know how it turns out when you thaw it. I have a Food Saver so I'm not worried about freezer burn, just the consistency/taste factor.

I have to tell you that I didn't think I would find a chicken enchilada recipe that would beat the one I already had. Well, you did it! These are FANTASTIC!! I am not a WWer and made it a little easier by just using a can of mild green enchilada sauce and then added then onion, jalapeno, and sour cream. Yummmmmm!

I am so excited to make these tomorrow night! I have a Salsa Verde Chinken Enchilada recipe that has been in my family forever but man oh man these look so delicious. I'll let you know how they turn out!

I made these last night and they were delicious they do not taste low fat for sure. I doubled the chicken though. It is a little time consuming but it was so worth it. Had the neighbors over, them and my husband raved over how good they were.

OMG, these were amazing. I just kept saying, I can't believe this is a skinny recipe! I did sub black beans for the white. Totally obsessed with your blog! I think I'm just going to go through and try everything!

I just made these for dinner and wow! Cheese is usually the bane of my existence. I usually have to force myself not to ruin any hopes of something being healthy by adding cheese. These smelled so good while making them that I decided not bother putting cheese on top and I didn't even miss it! I also made the chocolate cloud cookies earlier today and they were amazing too!

If you want to stretch the filling further you can add a million kinds of extra veggies. I like zucchini and mushrooms, onion, bell pepper... whatever you have on hand. One of my local Mexican restaurants makes a potato enchilada that is awesome but I can't imagine that would be any more WW friendly than your original recipe.

These enchiladas were so good!! I think I am going to have to look up some synonyms for delicious because of your recipes! I have yet to try one that I haven't liked, and I've made quite a few! I tell all my friends and family about your blog to spread the love too. When I make a new recipe now, my husband always asks if it's "Gina's" recipe, and when I tell him it is, he is always excited for dinnertime :)

I was a bit of a complainer last night making these. I was frustrated with how long it took but I just ate one with a friend and WOW! So delicious! I think I will freeze the mixture as suggested above for quick meals in the future. It may take a little time but it really is worth it.

This is one of my all time favorites from your site. We had it this evening and last week! For the last month I have made recipes from your site at least 4 times a week. I am so happy I found it and love your dishes! Thanks!

Just had these for dinner, I didn't have enough of the green chilis so I didn't put them in the enchiladas, just in the sauce, I also used raw jalepenos. (just one with out seeds) It was one of those dinners where I didn't have enough of everything so I improvised. I put my chicken breasts in the crockpot this morning.I really like the artisan corn and wheat tortillas (taco size) so I made mine with that and made the rest in burrito size tortillas. Everyone loved these! Last night I had made the pork carnitas with the corn salsa. So we used the left over corn salsa on top of the enchiladas along with a little sour cream. YUM!

I read MOST of the comments...hopefully, I didn't miss this. Couple of suggestions:* Consider draining the beans or omitting the 1/3 can ofwater in the filling. I had a hard time boiling off the liquid* I added a bit more chicken for my carnivorous husband and managed to get another server out of the dish* After the dish was "done" I broiled for a couple minutes to create an wonderful golden top....

I made these last weekend! They were wonderful! My whole family loved them! Be sure to use the cilantro! I never tried that before and it adds so much to the dish! Thanks so much for all your wonderful recipes!

I'm not the biggest fan of green chilies, so I made this using roasted red pepper instead, and it it was DELICIOUS.

I found some low-fat, low-sodium corn tortillas at Trader Joe's and decided to use those instead of wheat tortillas, but they were difficult to roll. I improvised and made a flat layer of 6 corn tortillas over the thin layer of sauce, poured in the filling, layered three corn tortillas on top, and spooned the rest of the sauce with the cheese and baked as instructed. It worked really well.

these were delicious! just had them for dinner. took a bit of time, like others said, but i actually enjoyed all the prep. i love being in the kitchen. next time i'm gonna use white corn tortillas. i used low carb wheat this time, and i just like the texture of corn better. the filling and ESPECIALLY the sauce was freaking delicious. thank you so much for having this site. i'm 11 lbs down and this site has helped me so much. 50 to go.

When I calculated this based on the nutritional values, it came out to 6 points instead of 5, BUT, it's Sooooooo worth it. They are delish!!! Made them last night. Will be making them again very soon!! Thank you so much for your fabulous website and your wonderful recipes!!!

Mmmm... my mouth is watering! These are definitely on the menu for this week. I love trying different variations of enchiladas! The best thing about them is that they are even better for lunch the next day!

I was wondering...I was planning to make these for a friend...if I put everything together and just cover with tin foil and give it to her to bake, do you think the tortillas will get soggy, because of sitting in the sauce? I'm trying to figure out how to make the entire recipe without the baking part, so that my friend can eat it right out of the oven...Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks!

I have made these many times now. Absolutely love these! Have made them for family and they all loved them to. I do add a lot more chicken than it calls for. Almost a whole store bought roasted one. Super tasty!

I made these and added a package of cooked & drained frozen spinach to the chicken mixture - it made 10 enchiladas and was absolutely delicious! My husband couldn't believe there was no cream in the sauce!

Just made these...ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! I can't wait to make them again for other people to try! The only thing I changed was using a little bit of artificial sweetener rather than salt. My new favorite food for sure!

Made these tonight and they got 2 thumbs up from my husband and me!! Just an FYI, I entered the nutrition info into the calculator and got 6 pts+ per serving. I still think they are more than worth it, though!!

Oh, and I added spinach into the enchilada when I was assembling them. I have a hard time not having something green and healthy in my meals (yes, I know I could have a salad but ....).

i cant believe how long it took for me to notice and make these! i loved it! the only thing i missed was spiciness( next time will use hot green chiles instead of mild) it was delicious and i think i liked it almost as much as your original enchilada recipe.

I made these tonight - and they were AMAZING!!! Such great flavor, easy to put together, in fact I put them together last night and then just threw them in the oven for 30 minutes when I got home. I cannot say how scrumptious they are! Just the right amount of spice!

These are soooo good! I made them last weekend for my boyfriend and he ADORED them, so I'm making them again tonight for a friend (served with margaritas ;) ). They're in the oven right now and smell so delicious. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
